Well, at least we know what our money notes are! So, I'll just take a fiver or 2 £2 coins.
Ummm, and I think Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci would beg to differ on the discovering part. And I'm sure the Native Americans would resent the implication that they were living in caves before anyone showed up.

You know I was going to go of on a rant and site all the fact's of the past and current history of you "Great Britain" but it seem my fellow Americans have pretty much said most of it all. The only thing I would be doing is to pick at an open wound. Oh what the hell you could not even fight off your own Country men the IRA kicked you a** daily and finally you had to give in to them to stop it. I serve with some great British soldiers over in Iraq and they are well trained but they love our equipment and gadgets. You night vision equipment is like our 2nd or 3rd generation stuff and we are already in the 4th and 5th. You no doubt are one of the many teeth less high school drop outs that are bitter because you don’t live in the land of the free and make you living robbing from the American tourist.

What a stupid question. If you had half a mind then you would realize that the Vikings discovered America and the Spanish were the first to colonize it.
How about that America has 13 Air Craft Carries where the UK has only two. How about the most technologically advanced Air Force the world has ever seen.
You can eat that stupid euro
The question is where would the UK be with out America answer:
THE UK ALONG WITH FRANCE WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN RIGHT NOW.
Both world wars we bailed you guys out because you Europeans are so pompous and ignorant you think your way is always the right way. So America had to step in and slap Germany down. America fought Europes war.

Okay, technically, the Native Americans discovered the US - I mean there were here first. However, if you read any history book you see that Columbus, an Italian, first landed on American soil way back in the 1400's, so you were NOT the first to discover the US. And, the Britons way back then wanted to leave England for a better life. So, I guess you could say any place was better than England even crossing an entire ocean to an unknown, unsettled place like America was better than Britain.

Oh the tangled web we weave when one sets out to deceive.
Seems this limey has his facts a bit wrong.Scandinavian explorers reached these shores about 400 yrs prior to the ill-fated lobster-back Brits(1621).Of course those 'hardy' Brits
were reduced to murder and cannibalisim soon and 'disappeared'.The Mayflower party did only slightly better and would have perished but for the natives' assistance for which they were repaid by British perfidy and genocide.
But most telling about the limey mindset is their inate fondness for claiming credit for the work of others.Maybe this
Brit wasn't told that this nation of "mongrels" has saved their snotty people more times than any should care to,and that were it not for the "mongrels" Nazi 'Great Britain' policies
would not have allowed his parents to raise a retarded son
as there would be no use to the state for "defective offspring".
Perhaps next time we'll sit back and let you show us how superior you claim to be.I seriously doubt that a people that can't manage to brush their teeth or drink cold beer could teach me anything.Bunch o'git wankers.

ENGLAND colonized the U.S. but we kicked your tea sucking butts out. What happened to the GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE? It is no longer in existence. Why? Because your country is too weak to keep control of those 'empires' that was built. What would have happened to GREAT (GAG) BRITAIN if the U.S. had kept out of WW2 in Europe and let Germany goose step it's way across the English channel?
What have you given us? I mean besides the drugged out Beatles?
THE ENGLISH discovered this continent? You mean they were here before 1492? Even Eric the Red hit the north American continent before Columbus did...in the 11th century. Get your facts straight.
Looks like I'm not the only one who sees you as a complete fool and HEE HAW. Keep up the good work, we all can use a good laugh AT YOUR EXPENSE!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHOHOH
You know, one of YOUR PEOPLE has emailed me a couple of times wondering why I'm beating on the English. I hope he reads your male bovine excrement and understands what I told him, now.
Thank God you are not a shining example of the good people of the British isles and that you're just some inbred, tea sucking, wanking, beloved of the head mahstah.
Did you know that the British Isles is full of drunken sots...up from 17.4% in 1987 to over 40% in 2005!
Go suck up to your great welfare queen!
Here's to your 'queen' (__!__)

Which country has invented almost everything? The US...cars, planes, computers, internet, electricity, the telephone, I could keep going and going.
I know what Europeans have done long ago, and that was create slaves in every continent. Africa, South America, Asia, North America...I am surprised you did not enslave the penguins in Antartica.
If it wasn't for the US all europeans would be speaking German. The greates thing to come out of Europe to the US has been Beckham.

England didn't discover the US.
Native Americans were living here long before the first English settlers arrived here.
I believe once we got tired of you Brit's we kicked your a** out of here, did we not? And then we kicked your a** again in 1812.
We came to your rescue in WWI and WWII.
You may have had the best military, but that was YEARS ago. We have had the best military since 1900.
Go back to school, and actually get the facts straight before you start flinging shi* because this time it landed on your face.

I would just like to point out to Harold A that some of the inventions he mentioned are not US.
Internet- Swiss thank CERN
Cars- German
Electricity- ancient Greeks
I would also like to point out to bildymooner that he said XBOX 360 which is made by the american company Microsoft.
These answers only show the intolerance taught in both countries.
As to the actual question. Our military is many times larger than that of the UK it also has a more advanced technology base. This is not to say the UK has a bad military it is just to say they do not put a large portion of their funding into defense.
